THANKSGIVING.

Again the people of this country are called
upon to give thanks for their blessings.
They have many to be thankful for As a
whole the country is healthy and wealthy.
The fruits of Che earth are more than suf6-
cient for the sustenance of the people. If
the superabundance this year is not equal to
that of recent seasons, there is yet enough
and to spare. There is also demand for
honest labor at fair remuneration. In all this
broad land no healthy, industrious and pru-
dent person need want for shelter, food or
clothing. Not only this, but none such need
fail of respectable and respected place in
the community with the means of rearing
and educating his children. This is the land
of the free; the home, the real, the sufficient,
the inspiring home of the brave worker in
any department of industry; the land7of lib
erty, of schools, of freedom in thought, of
ample recompense for any work well done
for the benefit of the community, the nation
or the world.
While all have reason to be thankful for
these general blessings there are few indi-
viduals who can fairly say to-day that they
have not something of their own to be
thankful for. 1t will be profitable to-day
for each one to discover what he or she has
to be thankful for. Many who feel despond-
ent will be surprised at the number and
magnitude of the causes for thankfulness
which they have. And it should be remem-
bered that those who will be most thankful
to-day are those who help others to be
thankful!

AN rNTEREsTrNG REVOLT,

The revolt in the tfnobIe" order of Knights
of Labor is spreading At a meeting held at
Chicago Tuesday evening Joseph R. Buchanan
declared that the time had come when honest
Knights of Labor must, for time at least,
renounce all allegiance to the corrupt ring
that now controls the great and noble order.
He stated that it had been found impossible
to maintain an effective fight from the inside
and that the only course left was to declare
an open revolt against the powers that be. A
committee of Eve was appointed to draft a
circular letter to ali the local assemblies in
Cook county calling upon them to elect three
delegates to convention to be held the first
Wednesday in December. The locals will be
asked to withhold from the general treasury
all assessments due from this time on, the
scheme being to freeze out General Master
Workman Powderly. Similar conventions
will be held all over the United States. As
soon as possible national convention will
be called and a regular organization per-
fected
OF course the leaders of the trades unions
affairs. One of them who lives in New York
thus talks: The Knights of Labor have always
been antagonistic to trades unions, but the
idea of allowing each trade to settle it's own
affairs has gradually evolutionized itself in
the Knights of Labor until now they are
obliged to accept what years ago they poo
poohed at. They are compelled to recognize
that the good, practical, solid basis of the
trades unions is absolutely necessary to hold
an organization of SO many different trades
together. It has been accepted by the
Knights of Labor too late, however, to save
them from loss of membership which is al
most, or will venture to say, wholly irrepar-
able. There is no question in my mind but
that. the members of the order who are re-
voting against the tyranny of the general
executive board will join the open unions
rather than to attempt among themselves to
create a separate order of the Knights of La
| Dor. There is infinitely more good to be de-
rived from unions that have no secret work
ings, but act over and above board with
| their employers. Where the Knights of La
Dor have won one strike the open unions have
won twenty. The stern logic of events, too,
has given convincing evidence that trades
unions cannot be crushed out of existence.
This is more than can be said of the Knights
| of Labor. 1t certainly has reached its zenith
zation can carry it.
There is certainly reason enough for a
| widespread revolt in the Knights of Labor.
| The leaders of the noble order have been very
| injudicious and tyrannical

SAUERKRAUT.

Interesting Process of M Enk1ng Favor.
lite German Dish.
IFrom the st. Louis Republican
A very interesting end important part of
sauerkraut making is the cutting of the cab
bage, says the st. Louis Republican. As
wine depends greatly on its age for flavor and
quality so does sauerkraut depend upon the
manner in which the cabbage is out. To be
firm and crisp, yet tender, the cabbage must
be cut in long, thin slices. To chop it up
fine, as could be done much easier, would
practically be to spoil it, or render its value
much less. After experimenting for over
FIVE years a knife was invented which does
the work in a most satisfactory manner. By
means of shaft in the centre it is made to
revolve very rapidly, and eight knives slice
the cabbage as neat as a butcher could a
steak. The knife can cut meat, too, as
some of the operators have found out to
their sorrow. This wheel of knives is
about 80 inches in diameter, and will cut
from 10000 to go, 600 pounds of cabbage in
day, depending on the skill and energy of the
feeders. -.
Four feeders work, although only one can
feed if desired. The head of cabbage is laid
on the wheel, and the pressure of the hand
causes it to disappear in few seconds. Be-
meath the wheel is V-shaped chest or box
into which the cut cabbage falls. When it is
full big truck holding 400 pounds of cab
baxe is showed under it, the right side of the
chest is pulled back, and the cabbage falls
into the truck. The girls who cut the cores
from the cabbage stand on a platform raised
about three feet from the floor below the one
on which the cabbage is unloaded.
When one of the trucks is filed it is pushed
along gangway by two tasty young men,
and into big building 56x184 feet. This is
called the packing house. Never having
seen the vault of brewery, can't say it
looks like one, although judge it does. 1t
is filed with huge tanks 20 feet in diameter
and 10 feet deep. There are 28 tanks in this
building and 10 tanks in an adjoining building
3Sx96 feet in dimension. Each tank holds
400 barrels of sauerkraut, worth nearly So, 900.
Thus the 38 tanks, if only filed onoe a year,
contain $4,000 worth of sauerkraut. In
each tank are two big strong men wearing
long rubber boots.
When atruckful of cabbage is dumped into
the tank they tramp it down. The object Of
this is to break the fibre sufficiently to let out
the water, SO the salt, which is plentifully
thrown over it, will take action at once. In
other words it is to facilitate fermentation.
The sole ingredients of sauerkraut are cab
bage and salt. Worms and insects might i'm
prove the flavor, but they are religiously e1-
eluded.
It takes sauerkraut from two to four weeks
to cure or ferment, depending on the tenn
perature of the cabbage when put in, and
the atmosphere afterward. It can be kept
proves with age. But it is not kept in the
tanks. After fermentation it is placed in
| barrels holding 80 gallons each, and headed
up as tight as an oil barrel. Then it is
shipped in any quantity desired all over the
country.

COMMUNICATIONS.
ExangeIiattc work.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
/ noticed in the COURIER of recent date q
communication relative to Rev. Spencer H.
Bray, pastor Of the Humphrey street Congre-
gationa1 church. 1t was the wish of the
writer expressed in that communication that
Mr. Bray be retained in this city to engage in
evangelistic work. From personal and in
innate acquaintance with Mr.. Bray for many
years, and knowing his qualities as a faith
full, consistent and eminently successful min
lister of the gospel, heartily concur in that
statement. 1t seems to me that place like
the New Haven Opera House, for instance,
where meetings should be held each Sunday
evening and where large numbers who other
wise would not attend any service could go,
would Ee profitable field in which to do
evangelistic work In all our large cities
such meetings are being held and good results
invariably follow. I believe that if num-
Der of persons would interest themselves in a
movement OF this kind it would result in an
untold amount of good. G.

Those who are anxious about the strength
of their brains will be interested in the dec
laration of German Investigator that he
has discovered a soup which is good for
brains. He says: Put into stewpan twelve
onions, one turnip and head of cabbage, a
quarter of pound of butter and quart of
white stock; stew till tender. Add another
quart of stock, pulp the vegetables and boil
with the soup for half an hour, stirring cons
stantly. just before serving stir in half
pint of boiling cream and about twenty but
ton onions. picked and boiled soft in milk
and water. Season with salt and thicken, if
desired, with rice flour worked with butter.
An ingenious machine has been put in op-
GRAFTON near San Francisco. It consists of
heavy wooden fan or paddle, hung from a
bridge over the surf by hinges, so that it
moves forward and back with the waves a
distance of SO feet. A powerful plunger
pump is connected with the extension of
4ha fa-, 4lo I1u; vi IL Ao
with the movement of the huge fan below.
The only use made of the invention now is
to raise sea water to reservoir for use in
such industries as can employ salt water and
for flushing the sewers, but with the perfec-
tion of their idea, the inventors have in
mind the working of electric dynamos and
other machines for which great power is re-
quired
Claus Spreckels, the California sugar
king, recently addressed six hundred farm
ers on the question of raising sugar beets.
He said that they could netfrom $50 to $75
an acre for beets; that hs would put up
factory to make beet sugar that would con-
sumo $50 tons of beetsi each twenty -four
hours, providing the farmers guaranteed, to
cultivate certain number of acres in beets
eaehyear. If one factory wasn't enough,
he'd build another, or give 100000 toward
one if the farmers wanted to build it them
selves. He said in conclusion: 81 am now
in my sixtieth year, and it would kill me to
fail in what 1 undertake to do. It is not
money that is an object to me, but I want
the people of California to be able to show
that Claus Spreckels has done SO omething for
this State when his bones are at rest If my
life is spared, want to see all the sugar
that is used in the United States grown here,
and 1 want to see this country export it."

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
For the information of the public who are
annually asked to contribute to the support
of the New Haven orphan asylum wish to
state few facts. There has recently been
returned to the asylum girl about IA years
old, after having been kept nearly two years
in family of this city. My family being
warmly attached to the child, my wife ap-
piled to the president of the board of man
ayers and offered to take the responsibility
for her until she was of age, giving her the
same advantages she SO recently enjoyed.
Her application was refused, the reason given
being that the managers preferred to send he1
to some country home, where she would have
to work.
I should like to ask why a citizen of New
Haven cannot take a child from the orphan
asylum, or, at least, have an equal chance
with the back country farmers.
AS she has been living two years in one
family in the city contrary to the rule of the
institution which is to allow only two months
for trial or permanent decision as to keep
ing them, why should not another city family
be allowed the same privilege?
